Personal Injury Cases We Handle

Our skilled trial attorneys have successfully represented clients in a wide range of personal injury matters, including:

Find injury help by case type and location

For location-specific injury help:

Car & Automobile Accidents

Under Illinois law, you may recover monetary damages if you've been injured in a car accident due to another person's negligence or recklessness. Damages may include: Medical Costs, Property Loss, Lost Wages, Pain and Suffering, Permanency and Disability, and Loss of Normal Life. Your spouse may also have a claim for loss of consortium.

Motorcycle Accidents

Our attorneys are motorcycle enthusiasts ourselves--we understand the unique challenges and dangers motorcyclists face on Illinois roads. We have years of experience building successful cases for motorcyclists injured due to the negligence of others and know the laws enacted to protect riders.

Trucking & Semi-Truck Accidents

Large truck and tractor-trailer accidents can be devastating, life-changing events. We're familiar with federal and state laws, as well as federal regulations controlling the trucking industry. Our attorneys have extensive experience handling lawsuits for clients seriously injured in commercial vehicle accidents.

Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrians are especially vulnerable and can suffer severe injuries or death when struck by motor vehicles. If you or a family member has been injured in a pedestrian accident through no fault of their own, we will provide the legal advice needed to recover just compensation for medical bills, injuries, and permanent disabilities.

Premises Liability (Slip & Fall)

When customers or guests are injured on public or private property due to negligent maintenance, property owners can be held liable. Our trained investigators know how to investigate premises liability cases and gather the evidence necessary to prove your case. See our guides to premises liability and slip and fall accidents.

Dog Bites & Animal Attacks

Our attorneys have been very successful in prosecuting and settling personal injury claims under the Illinois Animal Control Act. Animal bites can leave victims with severe scars, nerve damage, emotional injuries, and substantial medical bills. We can evaluate whether you have an actionable claim against the animal owner.

Medical Malpractice

When healthcare providers fail to meet the accepted standard of care, resulting in patient injury, you may have a medical malpractice claim. Our firm handles complex medical malpractice cases with the expertise and resources necessary to take on hospitals and insurance companies.

Wrongful Death

If you've lost a loved one due to another's negligence, our compassionate attorneys can help your family seek justice and compensation for your loss, including funeral expenses, lost income, and loss of companionship.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?
At Stavros Law Offices, we work on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing upfront and owe us nothing unless we win your case.

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Illinois?
Illinois generally has a two-year statute of limitations for most personal injury claims. However, some cases have shorter deadlines, so contact us as soon as possible.

What if I was partially at fault for my accident?
Illinois follows a "modified comparative fault" rule. You may still recover compensation as long as you were less than 50% at fault--your award will be reduced by your percentage of fault.

Do I need a lawyer for my personal injury case?
While not required, having an experienced attorney significantly increases your chances of receiving fair compensation. Insurance companies have teams of lawyers--you should too.

What should I do after a car accident?

If it is safe, get medical attention, report the crash as required, preserve photographs and records, and avoid giving a recorded statement or signing a settlement before you understand the claim. Contact us promptly so we can discuss the facts and next steps.

What does a contingency fee cover?

A contingency arrangement generally means you do not pay an attorney fee unless the firm recovers for you. The written agreement should explain fees, case costs, and what happens if there is no recovery. We will review those terms during a free consultation. See how personal injury attorney fees work.

Will you deal with the insurance company?

Yes. We can handle communications and help gather medical records, reports, witness information, and other evidence while evaluating the full impact of the injury. Do not assume an early insurer offer reflects the value of the entire claim.

How long do I have to bring an injury claim?

Deadlines vary by claim type, defendant, location, and facts, and some claims have shorter notice requirements. Do not rely on a general rule--contact counsel promptly for a fact-specific review.
